Letter to Carol

Dear Carol,

I met Carol after having traveled the world to study with all it's best
teachers. I knew so much about acting I forgot why I got into it in the
first place. She told me two very simple things the first day I took her
class. Be aware of my breath, and seek the joy of my own experience. Sure
I thought, that sounds easy enough. Easy it was, but easy I wasn¹t. It
took me years to strip away my training, my defenses, my fears and my ego
before I was able to let the true genius of her gifts sink into my heart. I
liked my old acting techniques because they helped me to avoid anything I
couldn¹t control, and in using them I hated my acting because it had lost
it¹s soul. Carol¹s breath work brought me back to life, and it help me
reconnect to everything I ever wanted acting to be, but felt too scared to
face. Her work is a direct gift from the heavens for all those brave enough
to face truth. And who else should bring such a gift but a little angel, so
cute, all you want to do is hug her and cry.
